Upon physical inspection of the store by the committee, it was found that it continued to sell the banned products and therefore the committee closed out the store.

It worth mentioning that, the Herbal Products & Attrah Stores inspection committee was formulated pursuant to HRH Governor of Riyadh Order and includes SFDA, Ministry of Health, Environment Health Department and Ministry of Interior in its membership.

SFDA avails this opportunity to warn people not to be deceived by the alleged medical benefits promotions of many of the products advertised over TV space channels.
